He has his doubts! Keith Richards shaded Taylor Swift’s success in a new interview.
“Good luck girl — wish her well while it lasts,” the Rolling Stones guitarist, 74, quipped while covering the Wall Street Journal’s March Men’s Style Issue. “I’ve just been around too long to be picking the bones out of kids.
